Batman: The Animated Series 'Fan Fiction Love Story'

By Tayla Drago

Episode # 53 - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm Movie

'Just so you all know, I made a bit of changes here. But still a good movie, am I, right? Please enjoy.' On a night at Gotham City to check on things for the two heroes/partners/lovers of Bruce Wayne who's Batman. Or the Dark Knight…Along with Megan Tsuki/Evans a bounty hunter of Gotham with beauty, brain, skills, gadgets, and powers to be unknown to learn about her past to be a long journey for her; for Bruce to be as Batman to fall for Megan to fall in love with him back to hopefully get somewhere. Just sitting around the church to wait for Batman's orders to move out to be thinking about something else, on other things. For something will change their lives for the next few days or so…

"(Geeze…something set up that I have to do for Bruce and me to investigate tonight of a couple of gangsters you know? Well, it's always like this for a while now since I've been with him as Batman…)"

Megan uses the dressing room to get dress in her own disguise, she narrates on everything in this film.

Megan: Hi! My name is Megan Tsuki/Evans. I'm one of the best Bounty Hunters in Gotham City to earn some money to stop bad guys on the streets, who was also trained by Catherine herself, wherever she is now who I hope I'll find her soon. I have ESP powers to get it somewhere from some group who studied on me to become powerful to learn about my past to still be a long way to go to finding some of it so far; to make my own weapons, hack into things, fight well, and work for Bruce Wayne who's a millionaire to owe a lot. But between you and me, he's Batman. The Dark Knight that I work for who took me as his partner…As Bruce Wayne, I'm his body guard for hire to get paid for, but as Batman to be his sidekick…he kind of has a thing for me. I'm starting to like him back, but with all the other girls to be two different people of good or bad, it's hard to know if he likes me for real. For others to think that I was dating with Batman…Does he really love me? Do I love him? I'm so confused right now! But either way, we have a gangster group to stop as soon as possible for him to come in as I hack my way inside, disguise as a maid…perfect! I hate perverts like Bullock! I hope Bruce as Batman will save me, I just know it…I mean I have the right to understand these feelings back, right? Either way, I'll see him inside because I'm going in.

Megan was dress up as a maid to go right in to sing something on her way to sneaking into the place…from the Mad Monster Party movie from Rankin Bass Company, is the song, 'Never Was a Love Like Mine'.

Megan 'singing': There never was a love like mine for you

Never was a love like mine

All the other girls you may have met

Never gave you love you're gonna get

There never was a torch that burned so blue

Never was a love like mine for you

There never was a love like mine for you

Never was a love like mine

All the love you may have read about

Honey you can just forget about

There never was a screen romance for two

Never was a love like mine for you

Tell me a thousand times each day

You've never been loved this way

Swear to me you'll never roam dear

Promise me you'll stay at home dear

There never was a love like mine for you

Never was a love like mine

Little cupids with their bows and such

Never shot an arrow that meant much

To any little love for any two

Never was a love like mine for you

Never was a love like mine for you

Baby, for you

Classic, huh? Only for Megan to use her belt to hit by accident to send a message of her singing for Batman to play back if he did…oh, boy! Too late now.

"Ah! Oh, no! Delete! Delete! Go away!" she couldn't stop or hack into it. "No! I'm so screwed! Great, now I must deal with this mess and the rest of it later at home. (This is so not my day right now!)"

And from there, we open the film with the scene all over Gotham City and the music to be playing...And cutting to the next part. While Batman is busting an illicit counterfeiting operation and Megan making her way inside the place to be Chuckie's maid to give them drinks, gangster Chuckie Sol attempts to make his getaway on wheels from a high-rise parking garage. Yep, they've got their guy.

"Thanks, honey." Chuckie hits Megan's butt to leave her a tip. "Go buy something cute."

She contacts Batman quietly by using her belt 'this time' to say the word.

"Is that him?" he asked.

"It is, Bruce. (I hope he doesn't get the message…) Chuckie Sol is his name to be most wanted on the list. I think it's time we stop his operation while we still have the chance."

"Whenever you're ready then."

Chuckie and his goons were suddenly confronted by a shadowy figure in a cape, which he assumes to be Batman.

"Ah!" one member panics. "It's the bat!"

Megan then throws one member down on the ground from her fighting moves to lose the maid outfit and shows off her gun pointed at them.

"And Megan Tsuki too!" said Megan. "Hiya, boys. Keep your filthy money, perverts!" she throws the money on the ground.

One attacks Batman to punch him to the table, two more draw out their guns to fire. Only for Batman to use his Batarang to stop them in time for Megan to use her baton to give them a beat down in seconds. For the two got under the table 'without getting shot' for them to lift it up to trapping him, and Megan grabs the other for Batman to send him flying from the walls and on to the ground in seconds! Chuckie started to panic while holding his money in a briefcase to make his escape, Batman pressing down on the table to stop the other thug both he and Megan go after the last one.

"Megan, Chuckie's getting away." He said. "Let's get going."

She follows him after handcuffing the rest of the thugs in time.

"Oh, right! Coming! Glad I don't have to dress like that anymore."

"I kind of liked it." Batman just had to say that to Megan.

"Not now, Bruce…!" she ignores it.

However, it is instead a different costumed figure, with a deep, echoing voice, a ghostly mask, and a vicious blade on the end of one arm.

"Chuckie Sol..." spoke the mask figure.

But he thinks it was Batman, it wasn't!

"Batman! How'd you get here?" He shoots at the Phantasm's chest, without effect.

"Your Angel of Death awaits..."

"You ain't the Bat!" he sees that now. "Who...who are you? What do you want?"

"I want you, Chuckie boy."

A frightened Sol tries to run down the new threat, but his target disappears in a cloud of smoke. Sol instead smashes through the wall of the parking structure and crashes into an adjoining building, dead on impact. Both Batman and Megan arrived at the scene a bit too late, for Megan sees someone who looked like the grim reaper.

"He's dead…" surprised Batman.

With him seeing that and Batman leaving the scene 'for the others to see him from below thinking that he killed someone but he really didn't', Megan had to look at the strange person to appear in front of her. Aiming her gun, it moves fast from within the smokes to confuse her.

"So, you saw everything…"

"Everything?" confused Megan. "Who and what are you?!"

"Someone that you shouldn't get involved in." he said. "Anyone who stands in my way, is dead. Surprisingly though, you are on my list to die."

Megan? On that thing's death list? Not good for her to hear to fire many rounds at this creature, or person who's a serial killer.

"What do you want from me?! Why do you want me dead?!"

"For getting in my way from someone I once loved…"

Once he said that, Megan was really lost right now.

"(You once loved someone for me to take away…?)" she loses the creature after that. "Hey, what did you mean by that?! Come back!"

Megan lost the person after that, worrying about her safety now. And witnesses note Batman's arrival on the scene, and most jump to the conclusion that he has finally let one of his normally non-lethal pursuits go too far.

"Megan, where are you?" Batman calls out to her.

Returning, she had to tell him on what went down.

"Batman, sorry about that. Listen, I saw someone who murder Chuckie. It was like looking at death himself who wants me dead next for some strange reason. I don't know why!"

"Where?" Megan sees him again to point it out to him.

"Over there!" she said.

Batman is still a mysterious and frightening figure to most of the public. Though he goes after him, only to see that thing take off after that out of the door and into the strange smoke. Now what?

"Tell me what he just told you." Bruce said to Megan.

As Megan, does so to tell Bruce/Batman on what happened…

Megan: From my end and his, things only gotten from bad to worse…How worse you may ask? After witnesses saw Batman thinking that he killed someone, it wasn't good for Gordon and me to believe in his innocence.

Fueling the anti-Bat bias is councilman Arthur Reeves, a vocal opponent of Batman's methods and a major thorn in the side of Commissioner James Gordon. Reeves goes over Gordon's head to recruit police officers who share his distaste for Batman's activities.

"What kind of city are we running when we depend on the support of a potential MADMAN?"

Alfred didn't think so otherwise for him, Gidget, Megan, and Bruce to be hearing and watching it all on TV.

"Such rot, sir." Alfred said to turn the TV off. "Why, you're the very model of sanity. Oh, by the way, I pressed your tights and put away your exploding gas balls."

Bruce couldn't agree with his butler more on that part.

"Thank you, Alfred."

"And all of this while we have to have a party here in this mansion tonight. How kind of you, Alfred." Megan said to have her computer book and Gidget find something from the glass piece. "Gidget, make the image a bit bigger if you would."

The robot does for her to hack into.

"Helpful…May I ask on what that glass piece is?" ask Alfred.

"A piece of wind shield." said Bruce to put it in his computer. "A piece from Chuckie's car. There's a chemical residue on it, some type of PolyGram of some kind from what I'm getting."

Alfred understood that part a little.

"Ah, but of course…"

Megan sees it too for Gidget points out it was some type of smoke related chemical.

"And what I'm getting at and Gidget…is that some type of smoke was made to surround this serial killer to work around in leather to make some type of marking, or prints of the body from the sweats. But so far, I can't find out who's who. And who wants me dead, what did I do to get myself into these type of messes?! Ah!" Bruce had his hand moving up near Megan's legs to be shivering all over.

"For someone to be wanted for most hotness?" he made a joke. "Well, maybe to me."

"Bruce! Why do you have to be so clinging around me?! (He's been like this for the past few days now!)" Megan asked.

Well, yeah. Bruce as himself or as Batman is really in love with Megan. He wanted to be even closer to her than ever, even with someone coming after her. Later, Reeves is contacted by his old friend Andrea Beaumont, who is just arriving in Gotham City. He asks Andrea about an old acquaintance of hers: Bruce Wayne. She dismissively calls the relationship 'ancient history', oh really? Later that night, Bruce throws another party to have for a lot of girls to be all over him, leaving Alfred and Gidget to serve food, drink, and Megan on duty as Bruce's bodyguard to be hating this scene, even worse for other guys to be hitting on her a lot. Alfred tries to make Megan feel a bit better.

"A drink, Ms. Megan?"

She drinks it down fast in the rage she was in.

"Thanks, Alfred, please excuse me." She said to be on guard duty by walking around to also push the other boys aside. "Back off…!"

And they do in time, scary…Megan tells the rest on what she was seeing on Bruce's end…

Megan: Great! I knew this would happen! All the girls going crazy over him…what about me?! From one saying about getting married or something…And what's worse, is some other chick gives Bruce a bad name to have a drink in his face and storms off, she doesn't know Bruce the way I do. No one does!

Megan stops the girl in time.

"That's Bruce Wayne for you…!"

"Okay, lady." She pulls her away. "Let's go. Let's arguing and more partying. You okay, Bruce?"

"Thanks for the save, Megan."

At least he smiles for Megan to be a bit happy, for the other girls do sometimes give her the stink eye.

"Bruce and her bodyguard if they were together? Ew!" one girl said.

Megan had to hear about this while hanging around.

"Why her? She and Batman are fine as a couple."

"But haven't you girls heard?" the other one speaks up. "Rumor has it that the Batman might've murder someone from a gang member!"

"No way!"

"But it's true!"

"Well, if anyone…Megan would be lucky to prove Batman is innocent right away, or try it better with some other guy." said Bambi. "But not Bruce Wayne."

The other two girls agree with Bambi on that part, for Bruce goes to clean himself off, Reeves offers Bruce a napkin.

"Here you go, Bruce my man."

"Thanks." He said to clean himself off with. "How goes the whole Batman hunt?"

Megan hears the rest.

"We're doing our best." Reeves said. "You are having a good life but no woman to be with, other than that hot bodyguard, I like her if I didn't have a girlfriend already. And didn't you have one once? From some girl name…Andrea? Oh, yes! Andrea Beaumont. What happen to you two back then?"

Bruce ignore Reeves there 'only to really struck a nerve' to give the napkin back and take off for a bit.

"Thanks for the handkerchief, Arthur. You know where you can stick it."

Nice one, that sure made Megan laugh there. She soon follows Bruce in his room where a huge portrait of his parents to think about a girl name Andrea for him to say her name.

Megan: From there, something changes with Bruce to look and feel so sad from some girl he once knew. Really? Only this time, I wasn't mad or sad…It was real to him for some reason.

"Andrea…" said the sad Bruce.

For Andrea and Bruce were once lovers to be no more, well a flashback tells otherwise...While visiting his parents' grave, a young Bruce Wayne overhears a younger Andrea visiting her mother's, talking to her as though she is still alive. The two strikes up a conversation, and sparks immediately fly.

"So tell me, with all that money and power, why do you always look like you want to jump off a cliff?" Andrea asks.

"Why should you care?" Bruce questions her back.

"I don't." she drives off to say this to Bruce. "Mother was asking."

Bruce has spent the last fifteen years of his life training himself to fight injustice, and is now very close to beginning the fight. That night, he dons a ski mask and confronts a group of thieves hijacking a truck of goods.

"On your stomachs, arms spread!" said the masked Bruce.

This doesn't make any of the thieves to worry.

"Who's this clown?"

When he yells at them to surrender, they just attack him. Bruce's martial arts training and advanced equipment make short work of the thugs, and he is elated to see that his training has paid off. Then the remaining thug starts up the truck, and a simple job becomes a high-speed chase on the highway, ending in a crash that nearly kills Bruce and his quarry. The next morning, Bruce is recuperating and relentlessly practicing his jiu-jitsu on the lawn. He says, 'The Plan' has gotten off to a good start, but he needs a way of striking fear into his enemies. Andrea visits, tired of waiting for Bruce to call.

"Hi." She sees Bruce was a bit hurt. "Hey, what happened to you? Trip over some loose cash? It's been three days since we met and still no calls. I figured you must be dead or something."

He talks while training.

"You expect every guy you meet to call you up?"

"The ones who are smart enough to dial a phone." To his surprise, she shows him a few moves of her own, and they end up in a tangle on the ground. "Nice footwork. Can you dance too?"

Laughing, he kisses her, and Alfred turns away discreetly...Well, end of flashback there 'for now' as Bruce returns to the party for Megan to get a call from a group of another gangster heading to Gotham cemetery next for her to go check it out for him.

"Hey, Bruce." She tells him quietly. "Got a call on something's going down at Gotham's cemetery, so I better go check it out. Want me to call if anything else happens?"

"Please do that. And Megan?"

"Yes?" He hugs Megan to leave the room after that while saying this to her…

"Be careful out there, please." said Bruce.

"Ah, sure. And you too. Hope you're feeling okay." She leaves after that. "(You and I need to have a little talk later, Bruce, no backing out this time. Also, you're showing so much love to me lately…Well, to only me or this Andrea girl?)"

There goes Megan for Gidget to be tagging along with her. Into the car, they go for Megan to see on who she was after next. Gangster Buzz Bronski, an old associate of Chuckie Sol's, visits his grave at night and drops a desultory wreath by the headstone. Those two were hiding to see what happens next before making their move.

"Chuckie, Chuckie..." he drops a wreath on the grave and tipping over a vase of flowers left there earlier. "You always were a loser."

From there, Megan soon had an odd feeling within her again due to her powers.

Megan: From Chuckie and then this Buzz guy…I had a feeling then from that same creepy person and I would meet again in the flesh, well…sort of. But in a way, it could only mean trouble was about to happen to this loser and for me to be close to death from some murderer I don't even know about! But does Bruce know? Still, I couldn't let someone die or let this person get away with it. I had to do something quickly!

However, Bronski is then confronted by the same mysterious figure 'for Megan and Gidget taking photos to see everything' and the murderer was chasing Buzz through the graveyard, yelling for his bodyguards.

"Ah! Help me!"

Megan fires a warning shot at the murderer to try to stop him.

"Hold it!" she said. "I don't care if you want me dead too like this fatso, I'm still taking you in! Gidget, stay put."

Gidget tries to keep its distances. As Bronski falls into an open grave, to have trouble getting back up.

"You again…" he turns back to Buzz. "You were always a loser, Mr. Bronski." He then disappears in the smoke. "Farewell, Mr. Bronski."

Megan had to help Buzz while she still could.

"Grab my hand!"

"Don't leave me in here! Please!" he said in fear.

"Just grab it already!" Megan demanded Buzz.

And then the statue above it is tipped inside, crushing him to death. Too late.

"No! No!"

Yep, he was dead when that part happened.

"Oh, no…!" shock Megan. "He's dead. Come on, Gidget!"

His bodyguards arrive to see his remains and a figure in a cape disappearing over the next rise, leading them to believe that the figure is Batman and he has killed Buzz.

"It's the Bat!" one member said. "It's the stinken Bat!"

Megan had to say something since Gidget took a lot of photo shots to download to her computer book in time.

"Wait! Listen to me, you two! Batman didn't do it, that was-!"

The phantom appears again to try cutting Megan's head off to move away in time, trying to fight him…he was moving too fast for her to be unable to lay a finger on this guy! Pushing her down with his weapon near her neck, Gidget tries to help only to be lost in the smoke that he created out of his hands.

"Megan Tsuki…" he said to her. "I will kill you, for this is only the beginning."

"Then why kill me now?! Huh?! You're setting up Batman! I can't let you do this!" Using he boot with a knife on it to break loose, the villain gets hurt a little to retreat for now.

"That Batman just came around at the worse time. As for killing you will be savoring for last while I finish the job, understand?" then he was gone. "Dealing with your boss, you can do whatever you want to prove in his innocence for all I care."

With this, Megan got some more clues to look up on 'thanks to Gidget's help' to do a lot more work for both Bruce and Megan.

"Yeah! You better run!" Megan let out a big sigh after that. "Man…! I almost died there…! (But still, photo shots of this murderer, this will lead Bruce and I to somewhere this time!)"

So, Megan calls Bruce up to tell him on everything on her way back to Wayne Manor. Lucky to have her head still on her body and alive. For some man name Salvatore Valestra hears the news himself out Buzz and Chuckie, he freaks out.

"Chuckie…Buzz…Oh, no…! I'm next…!" panicked the old man.

Looks old. The next day, headlines confirm eyewitness accounts that Batman has turned to killing. Reeves then demands to have him captured, but Commissioner Gordon, knowing that Batman would never commit murder, tells Reeves that he will have no part in his crusade to catch him.

"What do you mean, you won't?! You must go after him!"

"He didn't do it! It's garbage, Mr. Reeves!" he said. "You heard Megan herself, she knows on what she saw! The Batman does not kill. Period!" Gordon then leaves the room. "You want him, you get him! I'll have no part of it."

With Megan trying to say something to Bullock to not listen to Reeves that Batman was innocent.

"Bullock, wait-!"

He had his reasons to do his job to still care for Megan.

"No hard feelings, babe, but I have to." He said. "Please forgive me."

Once Megan left the room to know of Reeve's plan to hire a lot of police to arrest Batman, she had to say something to Gordon.

"Megan, you know what this means right?"

"Don't remind me. The real murderer's after me for some reason." She said to look worried. "This is worse than the time when I was set up from my clone."

Gordon couldn't help it either to trust in Megan to prove in Batman's innocence.

"Tell me about it." said Gordon. "Listen, tell Batman this…both of you must find out anything you can and stop the killer to bring to justice, don't worry about us or me."

"Wait, wait. It'll get you into trouble." Megan did try to warn Gordon, only for him to not care about his job right now.

"I'll take my chances. Batman was listening just now, so get going, Megan." He turns his back. "Don't worry about me, but just try to be careful out there."

She then leaves to go into the Batmobile with Batman.

"In any case, Gordon, thanks again." Megan said to take off after that.

Reeves orchestrates a trap with the police for Batman using the Bat-Signal, but Batman, who had been listening to Reeves and Gordon's argument, does not turn up 'thanks to Megan to warn her partner just in time', much to Reeves' amusement, as this further fuel his belief of Batman's guilt. Gordon leaves the rest to those two by stopping the real murderer in Gotham.

"Be careful, my friends."

Both Megan and Batman investigate the spot where Bronski was murdered, but then takes a moment to visit his parents' grave.

"Find anything, Batman?" she asks her partner.

Well, he spotted something alright…

"It appears to have the same chemical residue left out from the parking lot. Could find any other traces on the glass."

Megan scans it to still look at the photos that Gidget took for her.

"Same as Chuckie was killed, for Buzz to be next." She said. "Man, this guy really freaks me out! And what's worse, he's setting you up!"

Batman kept Megan close to her, so lovey around her lately.

"Don't say that. I won't let him hurt you. Not when I'm around…"

Having a moment, Megan had to ask him.

"(Ah, the heck with it!) Listen, Bruce, do you really love me a lot? I mean, I heard about other women and one girl you once loved. But…" she couldn't say it.

He walks around for Megan to follow Batman to lead her to somewhere.

"I guess you could say that." He said. "Proving my innocence, protecting you, and stopping the real murderer…Looks like this isn't my day."

Megan and Batman were standing near Thomas and Martha Wayne's graves to visit once again, just then, they overhear a familiar voice, and turns a corner to find...Andrea, speaking to her mother's grave. She turns around, just as shocked as Batman is.

"Batman?" Megan kept quiet to know who the woman was. "(Ah! Isn't that Andrea Beaumont?! In the flesh!)" she makes something up. "Ah…sorry, miss! Batman and I were just on duty here so…we're leaving now. Good night."

Batman runs off, but Andrea notices the grave he was standing near. She realizes who the man behind the cowl truly is.

"Wait!" she was shocked to know who it was. "Bruce?"

Megan tries to find Batman.

"Batman?" Megan then says something to Andrea. "Wait, ma'am, that wasn't-!"

"I know that Bruce Wayne is this Batman character. Otherwise, why would he be staring at his parent's graves like that?" She got Megan there, so she leaves to say this last part to Andrea.

"Alright, you got us. But…Could you keep it to yourself? Please?"

"And you are...?" Andrea asked.

Megan tells her as she follows Batman.

"Ah…I'm Batman's partner, Megan Tsuki, the bounty hunter of Gotham. Just stay safe, will you?"

Megan takes off to join with Batman for it was raining outside next. While spying on Reeves and Andrea having dinner, Batman has another flashback: second one…For Megan to know that he does remember Andrea very well, he moves his cape to keep it under Megan to keep her from getting wet.

"I thought you could dry off with my help." He said. "I don't want you to catch a cold."

"Thanks, Bruce." Megan narrates again on what happens next.

Megan: So, that woman was Andrea Beaumont herself. Bruce's old lover he once loved. Once loved, huh? I wonder if he still loves her even with this girl loving that Reeve greedy guy…? Still, I can't help but to feel bad for Bruce and all…I do feel sadness from within me like he does, to even read his mind about the past of his. I could only picture it now in my mind and what he's going through.

Bruce and Andrea have been dating for a while now, and tour the Gotham World's Fair together for the speaker to say something about the place.

[Welcome to the Gotham's world fair, a dream of the future. A bright tomorrow filled with hope and promise for all mankind. This is a vision of the shimmering utopia where we shall all spend the rest of our lives.]

Afterwards, Andrea takes him to meet her father, Carl Beaumont, a high-powered Gotham businessman (Bruce also meets a young Reeves, a hotshot lawyer in Beaumont's company).

"You're sure about this?" Andrea asks while calling up her father.

"Sure, I'm sure" he talks to Alfred to whisper in his ear. "What am I doing, Alfred? This isn't part of the plan! I must be going nuts!"

First time to really fall for a woman like Andrea.

"If I may make so bold, Master Bruce, I'd say quite the reverse."

Bruce receives Carl's stamp of approval, but their meeting is crashed by shady mobster Salvatore Valestra.

"Is my shirt too big, or is that my flesh crawling?" he asked. Excusing themselves, Bruce and Andrea see a street merchant being harassed by a motorcycle gang. Bruce tells Andrea to stay put, and leaps into the fray. With his training, he easily knocks out two of the gang, but, catching sight of Andrea's terrified expression, he becomes distracted for a crucial second, and takes a blow to the chest that knocks him to the ground, allowing the gang to escape with the merchant's money box. That evening, Bruce paces Wayne Manor in agitation: he has realized that he must choose between Andrea or his vow to fight crime. During a rainstorm, he goes to his parents' grave, and begs to be released from his vow: when he made it, he never expected that he could find happiness with someone else. "It doesn't mean I don't care anymore. I don't want to let you down, honest, but...but it just doesn't hurt so bad anymore. You can understand that, can't you? Look, I can give money to the city they can hire more cops. Let someone else take the risk, but it's different now. Please...I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn't see this coming. I didn't count on being happy. Please...tell me that it's okay."

No answers come from his parents' tomb, but Andrea, who knows him very well by now, appears next to him and gives him the answer he needs.

"Maybe they already have. Maybe they sent me."

From Bruce feeling upset, he leaves with Megan for a cop was watching them to miss, being very close there.

"We better keep on investigating, Megan." said Batman. "Let's go."

She still couldn't help but to worry about him.

"(Oh, Bruce…)"

Valestra, now old and failing in health, panics on seeing the headlines about Sol and Bronski's murders, and meets Reeves in private, asking him to confirm if Batman is hitting 'our people'. Reeves does confirm it, but hastily excuses himself, feeling he doesn't need Valestra anymore.

"I suppose you could demand Police protection." said Reeves

"What are you, a comedian?" Valestra questions the man. "This is the Batman we're talking about. A freak job!"

While investigating possible connections between Sol and Bronski, Batman finds that they were partners in several joint ventures, along with Valestra as he types it all down in the computer, while Megan was still working on the photo shoots see upon them.

"O'Neil Funding Corp." Bruce types it down. "Noam's Tools and Die." He found something. "I should've known."

As for Gidget trying to look at the serial killer again to alert Megan on something, or tries to say it by moving around.

"Got something, Gidget?" she looks at her robot friend. "What are you doing?" Megan tries to guess. "Hmm…moves and relaxes from the killer. Is that what you're saying? Though it's much different than a man doing it, huh? Still lots to work on."

Alfred then asks the two on what they were finding out so far.

"Sir? Miss?"

"Well, we know that those two who were killed had a history together, right Bruce?" Megan asks him.

"Chuckie Sol and Buzz Bronski seem to once know each other back then." said Bruce. "They were a mob gang from some funding cooperation that they work on from ten to fifteen years ago, and they boss was Salvatore Valestra. Sal's having company tonight. Let's go, Megan." He leaves with her. "Don't wait up."

Alfred had to say something to Bruce.

"Meaning, I trust, that once you're done with him, you'll be seeing her?"

Now Alfred has kind of done it to Bruce.

"You think you know everything about me, don't you?" he asks his butler.

"I diapered your bottom, I bloody well ought to...sir!" said Alfred.

Megan and Gidget couldn't believe on what was going on right now…

"Really, Alfred?"

"Well, you're wrong."

Talk about harsh…Finding his past resurfacing, Batman and Megan both examine some old photos of the three gangsters, one of which includes Carl Beaumont.

"Hey, Bruce, look at this." Megan shows Bruce while taking some photo shots. "Sal must've done business a lot with Mayor Hill, Buzz, Chuckie, another member there, and…hmm…who's that guy?"

Batman could already tell who it was either.

"Andrea's father." He said.

"Huh?" Megan scans it on her computer book. "Carl Beaumont. No way…" she also discovers something about him to be really surprised about. "Ah, yeah. It is him."

"She must've been through a lot with him…because of those people. I could tell."

Another flashback happens to see the rest…On the cliff overlooking the sea behind Wayne Manor, Bruce proposes to Andrea. She is astonished—she never really believed that Bruce would choose her over 'The Plan', but Bruce declares that whatever plan he has for his life, she is now part of it.

"Of course, I will! I never thought this would happen." She was happy. "I always felt like...like I'd thrown you a curveball, like you never knew what to do with me, because I wasn't in 'The Plan'."

"You are now." He said. "I'm changing the Plan."

They embrace and kiss, but are interrupted by a swarm of bats erupting from a hole in the ground. Bruce drops Andrea off at her home, where she notices other cars parked outside. It appears odd as her father usually wouldn't see clients this late. She goes inside to tell her father the good news. Bruce and Valestra's 'chauffeur', standing watch outside, catch a quick glimpse of each other before he leaves. The next morning, Bruce climbs up from exploring the cave under the Manor, which is much more extensive than he'd thought. Alfred is waiting, and regretfully gives Bruce a message: Andrea, returning his ring, saying she must leave, and telling him to forget her. Heartbroken, and having nothing left to hold him back, Bruce throws himself back into 'The Plan'. He adopts a new, terrifying appearance as 'Batman'. As Bruce dons the mask of Batman for the first time, Alfred serves as the only witness to this transformation and remarks in both terror and astonishment…

"My God…!" shock Alfred.

Thus, Batman's war on crime truly begins. And that's what made Bruce to become Batman and all…Megan felt that out from him.

Megan: Okay, so he was trying to be happy to train a lot to meet with Andrea. They fell in love, trying to live a good life for his parents wanted him to be, Andrea's father had some hard times with those people, and so on…And the just left poor Bruce heartbroken? Just like that?! No wonder why he's always sad just thinking about this girl and seeing her a lot! She has some nerve! Well, I still can't help but not…

She had to say something to Batman, as he takes a photo frame of the group picture to bring back.

"Is there something on your mind?" he asks her then sees a message. "What's this?"

"Stop!" said Megan. "That message was a…accidentally hit to be send out to you. It just me…" she changes the subject. "Listen, Bruce, I feel that you're sad to see her again. Andrea has moved on, and you should too. You have me now."

He turns away to have trouble thinking right now suddenly. Ah, man! That's a very bad move to do there since he likes Megan a lot. Big mistake there, Bruce.

"I know, Megan, but it just…"

She just got mad to slap him in the face.

"I knew it!" she said in anger. "You do love her still, don't you? She has a boyfriend now for God sakes! (Well, a greedy Reeves, he did work for Sal a while back as a rookie. A suspect maybe?)"

Bruce didn't care about the slap there, but to see that Megan got mad for no reason, a little.

"Does it matter to you?"

Megan was mad now to storm right out of the room.

"Oh, you-!" she punches the wall to leave a hole in it. "Fine! Be that way! Jerk!"

Now Bruce/Batman has done it big time to blame himself for it.

"Megan, I didn't mean to…"

Way a go, dude. Elsewhere, seeing that there was no other choice, Valestra goes alone to meet The Joker, with whom he has some history.

"If there was just some other way..." he said to himself.

It was at the Gotham's fair, in the present, empty and dirty – Sal Valestra carefully walks in and gasps when the rusty robots start singing. Suddenly, an unseen machine gun tears the robot's heads off. By Joker's doing.

"I hate that song." said the mad clown. "Can't be too careful with all those weirdos around." Valestra offers to hire him to kill Batman. "You know, I've been reading lately how old guano-man is wound tight enough to snap. Wouldn't it be great if I'd finally driven him off the deep end?" Joker laughs. "HAHAHAHA!"

"This isn't a joke!" Valestra was being serious. "Batman's knocking us off, and you're the only one who take him down! Look, five millions up front, with whatever you want to finish him off!"

"YAAAAWWN." he just yawned. "What do I look like, pest control?" Joker appears not to be interested, but Valestra angrily reminds him that 'his hands are just as dirty' as theirs, and that Batman will surely come for him next. Joker loses his temper briefly, then laughs, assuring Valestra that no one will never hurt him... "That's it. That's what I want to see! A nice-big-smile." said Joker.

Oh, really? With Megan still hacking into the systems to find some answers, she knocks on the door after Reeves leaves from going out with Andrea.

"Ms. Tsuki, good evening." He said.

"Hey, you. Sorry, I'm in a hurry to talk to your girlfriend. Questions on my work." She said. "May I?"

"I guess so. Good luck if you can prove Batman is innocent, your boyfriend." Reeve leaves after that.

"Right…my boyfriend." Megan was being ironic to him to then be knocking on Andrea's door. "Ah, Ms. Beaumont? Bounty Hunter Megan Tsuki, remember me? Can I come in?"

She knows who it was for Batman enter in her hotel as well.

"Yeah, come in please, Megan." She was being a bit mean to Megan there. "Your friend's here too. We meet again."

Megan knew Bruce/Batman would show up.

"I told you that you should've let me do this alone."

"Not in that mood you're in right now." He said.

Andrea didn't care about them to be let in to be questioned.

"Good point there…Well, Bruce, your secrets with me. I like your cape, not sure about the mask."

Batman confronts Andrea in her hotel room, demanding to know what she knows about the gangster murders.

"Have you ever seen this?" Batman shows Andrea the picture.

She claims ignorance, then coldly orders him out.

"No." her only responds.

"Cold much, lady?" Megan asks her.

"But that's your father. He hired those gangsters with a reason."

Batman does have a point, while Andrea was being stubborn to him. Was she jealous of him loving Megan now or something?

"So? That's his job."

"But he's the link who know about the tide with them, and only two were murder with one or two of them left." Batman then asks Andrea this next question. "Where's your father now?"

Man, I think Andrea was now a heavy drinker…

"Haven't got a clue. Why don't you try Madagascar?"

Batman grabs hold of Andrea's arm from drinking some more to answer his question.

"Hey, calm down!" Megan said. "(This is getting way out of hand here, or just plain awkward.)"

"That's not what you told Reeves. You told him you were closer than ever to your father."

Now Bruce has done it again to his old girlfriend now…This is very awkward.

"You had me bugged, is that it?" she asked.

"No, that would be for emergencies." Megan said. "We had other ways to know."

"She's right." He said. "I can read lips."

"Then read them now: Get out." She said in anger. "You too, Megan."

"Fine!" Megan spits on the floor. "We were done anyways, thank you for your time. (Witch!)"

Yep, Megan really hates Andrea already. They leave, only for Batman to ask her one more thing.

"You still follow your dad's orders?"

And Andrea's answer was this.

"The way I see it, the only one in this room controlled by his parents is you." But as soon as they were gone, she collapses onto her bed, sobbing uncontrollably.

Later that night, Megan sneaks into the place a lone, as the shadowy vigilante enters Valestra's mansion to execute him, only to find he is too late: Valestra has been poisoned by Joker venom.

"What? He's dead?!" Megan kept quiet to see the murderer again. "(Not now!)"

"Megan Tsuki. I take it that Sal has been dead since you've arrived?"

"Seems like it, pal!" she has her gun out to come out of hiding. "Now I won't ask you again…You're under arrest!"

"Look like we're not alone…"

Sitting on his lap is a surveillance camera, and a radio from which comes Joker's voice. Sheepishly, he admits that he messed up, and the killer isn't Batman after all.

"Whoops! Ha! Guess the joke is on me. You're not Batman after all." He said.

To Megan's surprise to hack into the system to find out who was doing it.

"Joker?! What's he got to do with this mess!"

"Looks like there's a new face in Gotham and soon his name will be all over town...to say nothing of his legs, and feet, and spleen, and head..."

Realizing the danger, the vigilante and Megan both leap from the building's window just as the package in Valestra's lap explodes. Just in time too, Megan tries to call up Batman, only to get cut a little from the killer trying to kill her next.

"I'll go after him next…" he said. "Now, Megan Tsuki, it's you who I want dead right here and now. I can never forgive you for taking him away from me!"

"What are you talking about?" she was lost.

"Die!"

Trying to cut her down for Megan to move away to using her gun to ESP powers for her head started to hurt as she tried to slow down the killer, it wouldn't last long to use smoke on her.

"Cheater!" she said. "I won't die from the likes of you!"

Using her powers again for the killer was too fast to try hurting her for her gun to be cut in two. Oh, no! He then throws her to the ground to try cutting her many times for her to move away, but Megan couldn't do it for long. Holding on to his body, Megan notice something was up with this type of serial killer to get her attention there. But what was it?

"Hold still so I can end your life quickly."

It appears that Megan wasn't strong enough to push him off her body to being stabbed to death.

Megan: Okay, now I know that I didn't stand a chance again this man! For me to fight with Bruce who was also Batman, I knew then that I was wrong to get mad at him over nothing, I feel his pain to love Andrea once to still care for her…at least a little…I still wanted to tell him that I really love him if Bruce truly loves me back. But I don't think that was going to happen anytime soon if I was going to be killed! Not good…

She was in danger now.

"I don't want to die this way!" Megan screams for help. "Bruce! Batman! Where are you?! Help me!"

But then up in the skies on the Batplane was Batman who confronts the vigilante, chasing him across several rooftops. For Megan to chase after the man too and helping Batman.

"Leave her alone…!" he said.

Megan was ready to fight again.

"Bad move letting me go like that."

"Stay back, you!" he said to Batman. "This has nothing to do with you, Megan is! This ends now!"

"Anyone trying to get a hold of her, has to answer to me! This madness ends now!"

The two fought hard for Megan to try to cover Batman from the killer, for she pulls the cape to give it her all to fighting back. Only for him to have the upper strength to pulling her away from getting hurt again.

"Surrender now!"

"Never!" he said. "Die already!"

Tossing Megan aside to go flying right into a metal pole to be sticking out of the building roof top, felt like a bad impact for Megan got back up.

"Man, trying to kill me there? Now you're going to…" she felt dizzy suddenly. "What's going on…?" Megan was throw into the pole to get stabbed badly to be bleeding out. "Oh, no-!"

She then passes out for Batman was horrified to see Megan could be dead now for the killer has ended her life.

"Megan!"

Feeling upset, he was mad now at the phantom person.

"The deed is finally done." He said. "Now leave me alone, you, if you want to know what's best-!"

But that was not going to happen, as Batman picks the killer up in anger to get back at him for hurting Megan.

"You'll pay for this…!"

But is then confronted by a police task force with orders to arrest him.

"Batman! This is the police!" said the cop in the helicopter. "You're under arrest! Stay on the roof, put your hands over your head, and stay in the light."

Seeing that the Batplane was stuck with the cops, Batman was trapped to hear and see Megan was alive but hurt.

"Batman…run…forget about me…"

But Batman picks her up to make a run for it.

"No!" he said. "I won't leave you behind! (Thank God, she's still alive.) Hold on!"

As the vigilante vanishes in a cloud of smoke, Batman flees while carrying Megan to try to stop the bleeding for her, and is pursued into a construction site by a tactical squad under Harvey Bullock's command.

"Freeze!" said Bullock to see Megan was hurt to think that Batman has hurt her. "Megan! Oh, you're going to get it now, pal! Put her down!"

Seeing Batman above, one over-eager officer empties his sub-machine gun at the building, hitting a propane tank and igniting an explosion that knocks Batman senseless 'as he was shielding Megan a lot'.

Megan: I couldn't believe on what I was seeing here! Well, at least a little…But I could already tell that Bruce was saving my life to put his line and body in danger from the cops and Bullock to try to hurt him on something he didn't do! For the killer to get away and such for them not to see him, for me to get angry more than us fighting time to time for our love. I just wish for this nightmare to finally end.

Batman then was forced to buy time by removing his cape and cowl and sending them flying up towards the police helicopter, distracting the task force while he escapes to the ground floor.

"Megan, whatever you do…don't let go of me…" he said in pain.

Now unmasked, and severely dazed by the explosion, he stumbles to the end of an alley, with the police right behind him and was still protecting Megan with all of his might, and no means of escape...

"Bruce…Bruce! Stop this!" Megan begs of him to still be hurt. "Your life is more important than mine…I'm sorry for fighting with you but that message…listen to it. I sang to show on how I feel about you, to accidentally send it. Please forgive me."

"I'll…never leave you, Megan!"

Everything was bad for poor Bruce to not make it out alive for Megan to watch him get hurt before her eyes, until Andrea appears in her car and tells him to get in.

"Wait…isn't that…? Andrea?" surprised Megan. "It is!"

"Andrea?" surprised Bruce too.

"Hurry!" she said. "I'll give Megan the first aid kit! You two need to get in first!"

Bruce carries Megan, jumps in and she speeds away, leaving the police behind. Bullock was shaken up to be worried about Megan's safety right now.

"I hope to God that Batman didn't hurt Megan. Because if he did, so help me…!"

Well, at least he's starting to believe in Batman who might not be a murderer so far. At Wayne Manor, Bruce gets treated thanks to Alfred, Gidget, and Andrea's help. As for Megan, well a miracle happens for this girl.

"How is she?" Bruce checks on her in the other room. "Is Megan okay?"

Gidget does doctor stuff for Andrea did her part.

"I did all I could to stop the bleeding, cleaned it, give her medicine, and stitch it back up." She said. "The rest is up to her, and yet Megan's going to be just fine."

Gidget shows Bruce an x-ray picture from Megan's body to see for himself.

"Master Bruce, it appears that Ms. Megan's life isn't in danger." said Alfred. "It must be her powers."

"Not just that…" Bruce explains the rest. "Megan must've stopped herself by using her hands to slow down from falling into the metal pole to get stabbed, only to not pierce her all the way through her stomach."

"Or she would've bleed to death. Amazing!" said Andrea. "I learned a lot about medical emergencies from high school. But that's great, right Bruce? She's going to live."

Bruce was very happy. For Megan wakes up to see Bruce being with Andrea, to be a bit sad a little for her to not have Bruce after all.

"Hey, Bruce…Thanks, Andrea…" she tries to rest up. "Ah, I need some time to rest…if you two could leave me, we'll talk later."

And for that, Bruce, Andrea, and Alfred leave the room for Gidget stays with Megan to heal to feel a bit upset to know what would happen next.

"Oh, dear…" Alfred felt bad. "So, sorry about this, Ms. Megan, really I am."

With those two to do some catching up to do, Andrea tells Bruce what really happened the last night they saw each other...Andrea returned home to tell her father the good news of Bruce proposing to her, only to find him in the clutches of three mobsters: Sol, Bronski, and Valestra. Carl had been doing business with them, but now they've discovered that he's been embezzling, and must die. Carl begs for one more chance, saying that he can return their money by no later than the next day. Valestra agrees, but as soon as they are gone, Carl tells Andrea they must leave town immediately. The money will take weeks to acquire, and Valestra won't wait. Andrea pleads that she and Bruce have just become engaged, but Carl tells her that they will both be dead by the next day if they don't escape. Anguished, Andrea asks why her father has ruined both their lives, and Carl swears that he will make things right again...Andrea fills in the rest of the story: she and Carl escaped to Europe, and he was eventually able to pay back the gangsters' money, with interest, but they still wanted revenge. Bruce reaches the obvious conclusion: Carl had to find another way to rid himself and Andrea of the mobsters, so he has been hunting them down, one by one. Realizing that Andrea had no choice but to leave him, he remembers his love for her, to have some moment time…

"Oh, Bruce. I miss you." She said. "I love you like you still love me too, I can tell. It's in your eyes."

They hugged.

"I think I might have feelings for you still, Andrea." said Bruce.

"I knew it. Kiss me then."

Just about to have their love, Bruce stops to overhear the message to hear Megan's singing on it. He stopped to know on what his heart was really telling him.

"Megan."

"Megan?" Andrea was confused. "Is that her singing?"

Megan 'singing': There never was a love like mine for you

Never was a love like mine

All the other girls you may have met

Never gave you love you're gonna get

There never was a torch that burned so blue

Never was a love like mine for you

There never was a love like mine for you

Never was a love like mine

All the love you may have read about

Honey you can just forget about

There never was a screen romance for two

Never was a love like mine for you

Tell me a thousand times each day

You've never been loved this way

Swear to me you'll never roam dear

Promise me you'll stay at home dear

There never was a love like mine for you

Never was a love like mine

Little cupids with their bows and such

Never shot an arrow that meant much

To any little love for any two

Never was a love like mine for you

Never was a love like mine for you

Baby, for you

Good song…

Megan: From then, something changes Bruce Wayne after hearing me sing from that message. In a good way to say the least.

Now Bruce knows what he must do. To still care for Andrea to love, but he was really in love with…yep, you all have guessed it.

"Andrea, I love you, but…I can't." he said. "I will protect you always. The two of us will, but…I love her more."

Bruce thought that Andres would get mad, only she was touched by his words to understand in a good way instead.

"I get it, really. I will find someone for me one day, it'll be a while though." She said to letting out a sigh. "I see why you love Megan Tsuki a lot."

"Are you going to be fine with this?"

"Yes." said Andrea. "Bruce, go to her now. But, promise me that you'll stop Sal's last member. He's next by my father's doing to murdering him next. That sicko. So you two help me to make admins, promise me."

Bruce and Andrea kiss a little to be hugging each other one last time with one last memory of their love from long ago, to fade to move on now.

"I promise. We both will, there's a guest room. If you want to make yourself at home, then please do."

Gidget helps Andrea to make herself at home for tonight.

"Thanks, Bruce, good night."

Then Bruce goes to see Megan in the other room, to her surprise she was feeling fine now to heal from her powers which saved her life. And getting lucky. Hearing a door knocking, Megan answers it to see Bruce standing next to her.

"Bruce?" surprised Megan. "I thought that you and Andrea…"

"She's staying here to rest, yes and we did talked. But we decided to love but not be in love anymore. We both let it go." said Bruce to hugging Megan. "It just us now."

"Wait, what? But I don't understand…"

"I heard your song!"

Once Bruce said that, Megan felt embarrassed after that.

"What?! Come on…!" she was feeling shy. "It just something I saw from a movie back then to remember from my parents, it's nothing good. Not much of a singer."

"But to me, you have a beautiful singing voice." He hugs Megan. "Listen, you had every right to be mad at me. It's hard for us to get liked too much, and I knew from finding you changed my life. We're a lot alike, only you're the most beautiful woman to me. I mean it, Megan, I'm in love with you."

Bruce was telling the truth for Megan to believe in him, she then felt tears coming out of her eyes, she sees that he meant every word.

"Bruce…I knew it. I love you too. I just…I don't know what to say-!" He kisses her on the lips.

"You don't have to." He said. "Showing you is enough than saying it."

From that night 'and for Alfred to give some alone time', both Bruce and Megan embrace with each other to have a night that they'll never forget to make out for the first time. Alright! Gidget was happy to be leaving the room next, as for Andrea to sleep to think about Bruce…something was on her mind to be something odd about her stopping her father Carl. Or was there more to this…? The next morning, Megan was feeling a bit better to be holding Bruce in his arms to have a best make out night ever for this woman.

"Wow…!" she was happy to be hugging Gidget. "What a magical night!"

Bruce comes up to her.

"How did you sleep?"

"Fine, and you?" she asked.

"With you, I'm fine. I want to be together, Megan, you know that." He said. "I was so worried for almost losing you. I'm glad you're feeling all right."

He means it a lot for Megan and Bruce to work things out no matter what happens, he will protect her.

"Close call from last night, I know." She then sees Andrea leaving. "I'll see Andrea off. You want to…?"

"I already talked to her. Go ahead."

Megan sees Andrea off to say something to her.

"Hey! Andrea!" she chases up to her. "Listen, about Bruce and me…"

"You two?" she laughs. "No worries. You take care of Bruce to make him happy, then its fine. We had a good talk. So just keep me posted for me to return tonight to stop my Father for good, please? I trust in you."

Megan and Andrea shake on it to be hard to hold hands but they mean it to stay strong.

"Thanks, Andrea, and I will too." said Megan. "See you later then?"

"Yeah." She drives off. "I'll see you two later. Be careful."

For that, Andrea drives off for Bruce, Alfred, and Gidget to see her. As Megan will keep a promise to her, and yet something else was on her mind.

"(Okay, I can't help but the shake this strange feeling that something's up…big time with Andrea and her father, but what is it?)"

She may be right…Despite Alfred's enthusiasm for his master, Bruce is unsure whether he can still make the same choice he made ten years before, despite admitting he still loves Andrea, his heart is now with Megan to do something right about it.

"You sure love Ms. Megan, don't you?"

"I do, Alfred." He said. "So many things have changed, moving so fast…I love Megan though. I'll never forget the moments with Andrea and me back then, but we talked to still care for one another. And yet, being with Megan…I'm glad to be with her now. Maybe when this is over for Andrea to have a good life after that. And for Megan and me to still do our jobs, maybe one day we can start a new life together when that time comes."

Megan returning to the room, Gidget sees something from the photo to show to her on the next target.

"Gidget?" she looks at it. "Hmm…something about this man…" Megan figures it out. "(Crap!) Ah, Bruce, you might want to have a look at this. I know who Carl is going after next!"

"What is it?"

With Bruce looking over the photo of Carl Beaumont and the three gangsters, he realizes something like Megan did too: Valestra's chauffeur, standing in the background, is the Joker before his transformation, likely making him the killer's next target.

"Something wrong?" ask Alfred.

"Megan might be on to something." He draws it to know who that man was. "Oh, no…! The Joker!"

In his office, Reeves fumes about the police's failure to catch Batman.

"You're telling me there were four precincts on Batman's heels and he still got away?" Reeves hangs up the phone. "Unbelievable!"

He is suddenly confronted in secret by the Joker, who reveals that he's seen the real killer and reminds Reeves about his own history with the mobsters.

"Tsk, tsk. And to think our tax money goes to pay those jerks." Joker now has his own pet theory: Reeves has hired the mysterious vigilante to eliminate the witnesses to his dealings with Valestra and his gang, which means that Joker himself is next on Reeves' list. Flustered, Reeves denies it, but then Andrea telephones his office to cancel their lunch date. "Now ain't that a co-inky-dink. We're talking about the old man and the spawn of his loins just happens to call. Makes you want to laugh, doesn't it, Artie?"

Needing no further proof, Joker stabs Reeves with a needle, injecting him with a slow-acting version of his Joker toxin. Reeves is rushed to the hospital, laughing hysterically. A doctor sedates him, warning him that he must stay calm to let the toxin run its course. But as soon as he is alone, Batman and Megan both confront him, demanding to know what the Joker wanted.

"You two-!" Reeve said to try keeping his cool.

"Hi, Reeve, you sure look like crap." Megan said. "Look, we need to talk. And Batman's innocent."

The two demanded some answers from Reeve to give to them.

"Why did the Joker meet with you?" Batman made Reeve talk. "It has to do with the gangster murders, doesn't it? He thinks you're involved, why?!"

Well, Reeve wasn't answering to Batman or to Megan still.

"I don't know!"

"That's not the answer I want…!"

"Ah, Batman, allow me." Megan goes over to Reeve to slap him in the face. "Start talking!"

This surprise Batman to see Megan had some back bone.

"Nice one."

"Thanks." She said. "Now, Reeve, the answers please."

Reeves confesses: Beaumont enlisted his help in getting himself and Andrea out of town, and kept quietly in touch over the years.

"B-Beaumont needed me to help him and his kid get out of town. He kept in touch." He said.

"When was the last time you spoke to him?" ask Batman.

Reeve tries to breathe in and out.

"Years ago. My first election campaign. I was running out of money and I asked him for help..." Reeve tries to talk. "He said no!"

Later, when Reeves was running for the office of city councilman for the first time, Beaumont refused his pleas for financial assistance. In his desperation, Reeves sold Beaumont's whereabouts to the mob, being told that they just wanted their embezzled money returned.

"I don't believe this…!" Megan got upset. "How could you?!"

"So, you sold him to the mob." said Batman in anger.

Reeve tries to explain to them while laughing hysterically.

"I was broke! Desperate! They said all they wanted was their money back!" Megan slaps Reeve again one more time to leave a little something on the bed.

"Well, pal, you running the business in Gotham is over!" she said. "Come on, Batman. (I think I'm starting to figure this whole mess out.)"

Remembering it all causes Reeves to start laughing all over again as Batman and Megan both leave in disgust, and the doctors rush in to try and settle him down. Realizing the truth, Batman and Megan rush to Andrea's hotel room to confront her, but she is gone.

"You see her?" Batman asks Megan.

"No. She's not in the bathroom or outside of her room."

Then the Joker calls the room, telling her he's sending her a gift. Megan puts the call on her radio to hear what the clown must say, it wasn't good. Batman looks out the window to see a toy plane flying towards the room, carrying a bomb.

"Megan, look out!"

Batman manages to detonate it before it gets inside, but remembers where he once saw a toy plane like that. As Megan also figures something out…from the feeling of the serial killer's body, the way he wants her dead for taking Bruce away from that person, the figure body of his, and DNA to match up to be a woman…she knows who the phantom is.

"Ah! Bruce! I know who the phantom is!" she said.

"And I know where the Joker is at with the killer…! Wait! You do?!" shock Batman. "Who is it?!"

Megan takes off for Batman to follow her.

"I'll explain later, just call me up! And just follow me in my red sports car!"

"Megan, wait!"

Time was running out now.

Megan: It was there that I knew who the phantom killer really was! Why didn't I see it sooner? From the fights, looks, feeling the way, he wants me dead, and such… 'she' could be only one person since her father Carl was killed by the Joker himself because of Reeve's doing…And that person is…

Outside the Joker's hideout, in the ruins of the World's Fair, Andrea remembers what brought her to this point: Andrea returns home from grocery shopping, to see Valestra's chauffeur emerging from the house. He silently walks past her, and she rushes inside and screams upon finding her father dead. Inside his hideout, the Joker is confronted by the killer.

"Well, look who's still alive?" Joker said to be laughing about it. "I should've known."

"Joker, your angel of death awaits."

But he's already managed to deduce the vigilante's identity and Megan to enter the place with her gun out.

"Stop!" she comes in screaming. "Joker! Phantom thing! Don't move!"

"Oh, hi Megan. I'm impressed, lady. You're harder to kill than a cockroach on steroids."

The phantom tries to kill, Megan first punches her in the stomach fast and in anger she was in.

"It all makes sense…I read about your father who ended up killed by Joker's doing." She said to point her gun at the killer. "Also, the way you fight, the way you hated these men, you wanted me dead for you love Bruce to take me out of his life…! Isn't that right?"

"So, you two have figured it out."

"That's right!"

None other than…

Megan: Andrea Beaumont!

Megan and Joker were right for Andrea finally reveals herself to them.

"Nice scheme." Joker said. "But the costume's weird, but hey…Who can say that no one's perfect, don't you think?"

Looks like Joker and Andres fight with each other, it was something for Megan could only watch. Trying to pin her down, she kicks Joker in the fun pack. Ha! While fighting, Megan had to know the reason, for she can do two things at once.

"Why, Andrea? Why do this?! Batman and I could've helped you-!"

"No!" she said in rage. "You and he are always together, I hated it! And stopping the Joker a lot than me because he murderer my father…! You had to get it! So I had to take the law of justice and death in my own hands! And you to go with it, so he would love me again!"

Using a robot, Andrea fights back to get hit by Joker using some food, he escapes for her to come too and continue to stop her murdering. From acid spray and such to hitting her weapon, she would beat the crap out of him.

"Lady! You're insane!" she said.

"I'm done with you yet…!"

Andres chases after Joker still for Megan to follow them.

"Hey! Don't run away from me!"

Andrea appears to have the upper hand, until the Joker escapes and lures her into the path of a gigantic aircraft engine…

"Well, if it isn't Smoking the Babe. Just in time to meet with her biggest fan!"

Which sucks her off her feet and nearly kills her until Batman arrives in a Batcycle and crashes it into the engine rotors, destroying it. Megan arrives to see her boyfriend to arrive in time.

"(Bruce…)" she goes over to him. "Batman, Andrea's behind it all and she's trying to kill me because of her jealousy! All this time, it was her!"

Batman confronts Andrea: he now knows her father is dead, and she has been killing his tormentors, one by one in revenge for killing him.

"What?" now he knows. "Killing Megan…? And your father is dead, isn't he?" Batman pulls Megan close to him. "Why do all of this? You're a criminal now! You came into town earlier to get Chuckie Sol so you can shift the blame on your father, didn't you?"

She did arrive in Gotham earlier to kill Chuckie Sol and used her late father as a scapegoat if necessary.

"You can stop if you let us stop Joker, bring to justice, Andrea." Andrea pushes Megan's hand away from her face.

"Shut up!" she said in rage. "She took you away and they took everything from me, Bruce! My Dad, my life, our love…I'm not saying it's right or even saying…but it's all that I got left! And you choose her over me! So either help me to dumping…this bimbo or both or you can get out of my way."

Andrea says she has nothing left except her revenge on the men who ruined their lives. Before Megan could say anything else, Batman says so otherwise.

"You know I can't do that or leave Megan. I thought you were fine with all of this, but it looks like I was wrong!"

"But look what they did to us!" she said. "What we could've had! They had to pay!"

"But, Andy…What will be avenging your father or anything else solve?" Batman asks her.

Andrea knows of it all and still does it.

"If anyone knows the answer to that, it's you, Bruce."

Megan alerts Bruce of stopping Joker next to be around the park somewhere in hiding.

"Bruce, we should…"

"Leave now, please…" Batman pleads with her to leave and let him apprehend Joker his way. "You coming, Megan?"

Well, Andrea wasn't done with Megan yet to fire a gun near her face to miss. She was told but no more. She has things to take care of.

Megan: While Batman deals with clown boy, I got other business with phantom girl who needs to be taught a lesson.

"Andrea! Stop!" Batman beg of her.

"Bruce, wait! I got this! Go after the Joker!" she said.

"But, Megan-!"

"I'll be fine, I'll restrain her!" she said. "Now get going!"

And for that, Batman does so by stopping Joker to hope that they'll both be okay. Well, Megan wasn't afraid of Andrea anymore.

"I won't let you live, Megan…!" Andrea said in anger. "I want to see you die! I love Bruce Wayne!"

Elsewhere, Joker starts a countdown to blow up the entire complex. As Megan teaches Andrea a lesson once and for all.

"Lady…Do me a favor and yourself for Bruce's sake and...SHUT UP!"

The two fight it off to be wrestling on the ground to be kicking, punching, or scratching each other to be tough. Both! For Megan bangs Andrea's head, many times for her to pull on Megan's long hair to send her flying. Landing on her feet though, her powers work again to throwing things at Andrea. Blocking to moving away in time, she doesn't see Megan grabbing hold of a kitchen knife to cut her arm a little only for Andrea to kick her to the walls to pinning her down now; trying to stab her next to use her powers to pull back as hard as she could for Andrea to withstand it, as Megan throws an old robot to jump and for her double kick to the ground in seconds to be bleeding all over for Megan was beaten from her body.

"You stupid little…! Why can't you just stay dead?!"

Andrea, my God. Take a chill pill, will you! As Batman's pursuit of Joker takes him through the old exhibitions, and Joker distracts him with a set of booby traps, long enough to don a jet pack and fly into the sky. As Andrea comes at Megan again to look tired to try hitting her by running up to the bounty hunter, she moves away…Only for her to restrain Andrea in time and gets handcuffed.

"It's over, Andrea." She said. "You're going to jail and think of this as getting dumped, sorry it had to come to this."

Andrea was done for.

"So you win. Bruce really does love you…"

"It just happened." said Megan. "But I will keep him happy, if you weren't for you trying to kill me then…I would've saved you."

Andrea ignores Megan.

"Save it, Megan…! I don't need your pity."

The girls are done, and as for the boys, Batman manages to jump onto his back and yank him off course, causing them both to crash and leaving them exhausted.

"You're crazy!" said the Joker. "I'm your only chance to get out of here! Let me go or we both die!"

"Whatever it takes!" he said to be holding on tight.

Megan rushes in to help out Batman.

"Oh, no! Batman!"

Andrea manages to un-cuffed herself with a trick to do what needs to be done.

"Megan, you and Bruce get out." She said. "You two arresting me might have to wait until next time."

Megan sees Andrea leaving to stop her, only to be pushed back for her own good and Bruce's too.

"Andrea, wait-!"

"Sorry, but this must be done." Then, Andrea reappears and grabs hold of Joker.

"Okay, I give up. I surrender." said the Joker. "Tell her, Batman."

"Batman! Do something! Say anything!"

With Megan saying that, he tries to talk some sense into Andrea before it was too late.

"Andrea, you need to get out of here!" he said to feel weak. "This place is about to explode!" Batman pleads with her to run as the fairground is wired to explode, but she refuses and bids him goodbye.

"No…!" she said. "One way or another, it ends tonight. Goodbye, my love. And Megan, take good care of him for me. And thank you."

The bombs explode, and the entire complex begins to burn. The Joker laughs maniacally as Andrea disappears with him in a cloud of smoke.

"See ya later, suckers!" Joker said as he disappears with Andrea.

Not good for Megan and Batman were too late.

"No!"

"Andrea!"

This was going up into flames for Megan had to get Batman and herself out of there and fast!

"Bruce! Come on, we need to leave!" she said. "Let's go already!"

The ground underneath Batman and Megan both collapse, and they fall into a sewer line, which carries them away from the inferno. Only to see the scene of the place that once was to be no more but ruins.

"Andrea…" Bruce turns his attentions to Megan. "Why did this had to happen?"

She holds him.

"I wish I knew, Bruce. Sometimes not every mystery solving doesn't have a happy ending." She said. "And for once, if things were different, I wanted you both to be happy. (Man, talk about a bad romance.)"

In the Batcave, Bruce laments that he was unable to save Andrea. For Alfred, Gidget, and Megan hated to see Bruce this way. Other than that, Gordon had the papers done by Megan to tell Bullock and the other officers to call off Batman to think he was a serial killer, they know who it was now to try finding her, Andrea…As for Reeve, he was arrested and off the champion to not be in one anymore 'or anytime soon'. For Bullock was happy to hear about Megan was okay 'yeah right'. Anyways…

"Alfred, I'm worried about him."

With Gidget trying to give Bruce a massage for his back, Alfred tries to give him some treatment from his wounds again.

"I couldn't save her, Alfred." He said.

"I don't think she wanted to be saved, sir." Alfred said to Bruce. "Hate to admit it too. So, does Ms. Megan herself. Vengeance blackens the soul, Master Bruce, I always feared you would become that which you fought against. You walked the edge of that abyss every night, but you haven't fallen in and I thank Heaven for that. But Andrea fell into that pit years ago, and no one, not even you, could have pulled her back.…Nor can't Ms. Megan either she wanted you two to end up together."

Sadly, Alfred tells him that Andrea was beyond redemption. With that said was true and sad to say it too, Megan hugs Bruce to know that she'll always be there for him.

"I know it hurts, Bruce, I know…" she said. "You are helping me out so I won't become like Andrea was. But I did try to, really." Then Megan sees something from afar. "Wait…Bruce, over there! Look!"

Then Bruce notices a glint in the distance, and finds a locket that belonged to Andrea wedged in a nook in the cave wall: inside is a picture of her and Bruce.

"What is it?" Alfred asks Bruce.

Desolate, Bruce realizes that she must still be alive, but is once again lost to him, now and forever. Megan was happy that Andrea was now freed and most wanted to be sad, she will be there for Bruce from here on out.

"Bruce, Andrea told me to take care of you and I will." She hugs him. "Let me keep you happy, please…"

They embrace each other to be kissing next for Gidget was jumping around with joy, and so was Alfred to be crying with tears of joy for this butler.

"Thank you, Megan." said Bruce. "You make me want to live on and stay happy forever."

And from there to be very hard to move on, Bruce and Megan were a couple now. But more for people to think of her and Batman, still for Bruce Wayne will let the world know one day. Maybe…On a cruise ship out at sea, one of the passenger's notices Andrea standing alone at the rail. He starts to introduce himself, but notices her rather cold greeting, and mourning veil. She wishes to be left alone.

"Nice night, isn't it?" the man asks her.

"It is…" she said it in a sad way.

He felt bad after that.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were alone."

"I am alone." said Andrea.

Batman stands on a rooftop overlooking the city, as he has done countless times before. But with Megan by his side, things will get better again, as it always had for them. The same, old thing, the new, and so on with more to come, to also know that Joker was back in Arkham Asylum. Good! Until he breaks out again later.

Megan: And so, the Batman framing the two murder gangsters was done. Thank God! Also, I was no longer a target since Andrea was now on the run, though both Bruce and I were very happy to know that she was still alive and well somewhere else. For her father was killed by Joker to be back at Arkham thanks to her doing the right thing, Reeve was out of the champion, the cops find Batman innocent to be a hero for Gordon to be happy and Bullock almost got in to trouble, and for me to know that I'll always be there for Bruce Wayne now to love forever and to help me discover more about myself, in no time. Well, for now we're sticking for me to be with Batman and in love to also stop crime.

Whether by fate or by design, it seems he cannot escape from Bruce's purpose. Seeing the Bat-Signal light up the sky, he throws off his reverie, and swings off into the night as he carries Megan with him 'like he always does'.

"Megan, shall we?" he asks her. "Maybe we can go out after stopping this heist."

Megan smiled to hold on to Bruce closes to him in his arms.

"Bruce…. Or rather Batman, I don't see why not. Let's do that." She said. "Let's move out."

"Okay."

And with that, they fly off from one building to another on the night like this for Batman and Megan to just be themselves again and doing what they always do best.

Megan: And my saying from all this mess was this…Falling for someone is hard to move on afterwards, to try again on where your heart will guide you. For me, it would've been for Bruce and Andrea, but now I'm all that he has. Me, Megan Tsuki/Evans…And I'm sticking to it! Look out world! For Batman and I still got it!

They sure do! As 'to my point of view for the ending to have Phil Collins song featuring Sting – Long, Long, Way to Go' to end things off during the credits. Yeah, good one, wasn't it? Still a very good film. I hope you all liked it as much as I did, and different to also be way better in my version; be sure to get the move on DVD/Blu-Ray or one of them today. Until next episode, later.
